Big lake fishing, done right — aboard the Double Down.
Captain Tim Anderson has chased salmon, steelhead and lake trout across Lake Michigan for over 20 years. Whether you're 6 or 90, first-timer or seasoned angler, you'll leave the dock knowing more than when you boarded — and hopefully with a cooler full of fish.
A hard-working crew, dedicated to putting you on fish
While fishing can be unpredictable, we guarantee a crew that keeps changing tackle and technique until we find what's working — and makes sure you have a great day on the water either way.
All Skill Levels Welcome
From 6-year-olds to World War II veterans in their 90s — every angler is made to feel comfortable on board, first trip or fiftieth.
20+ Years on Lake Michigan
Captain Tim earned his rank in 2013 after decades on the water, from inland lakes and the Grand River to the big lake itself.
Fully Rigged & Ready
Electric downriggers, electronic fish finders, GPS and radar — plus all tackle and bait provided. Your catch is cleaned and bagged at the dock.
A 31′ fishing machine built for Lake Michigan
Electric Cannon downriggers, electronic fish finders, VHF radio, GPS navigation and Ray-Marine radar — the Double Down is rigged for salmon, steelhead, lake trout and brown trout, with private sanitary facilities on board for longer trips.
